/sci/ - Science & Math

>>8819785
Most scientists are highly skilled mechanics. They understand how a particular system works and how to manipulate it. Their intelligence has to do with remembering a bunch of facts regarding a very specific system. Your average business man or even clinician is much much "smarter" than someone who can tell you everything there is to know about cellular respiration but knows fuck all else.

The biggest sign of their overall retardation is thinking they're too smart for normal life, so if anything you're a very average scientist.

0/10

>>8819850
Stay butthurt. I've studied more science and involved myself with more scientists than you ever will.

>>8819872
Kek, I like how you can make sweeping statements like that without any information. For example, I'm doing my third post-doc at the moment. My h-index is higher than my age. Stay classy trolls.

>>8819879
If that were the case it'd be entirely obvious what I'm talking about.

>>8819886
>If that were the case
It is.
>it'd be entirely obvious what I'm talking about.
It isn't.

If you were talking about Engineers, I could sort of see where you're coming from.

>>8819891
Pretty much MOST from biology and up, not including heavily integrated studies. And engineers are literally mechanics so no shit.

>>8819908
What the fuck does 'up' even mean. As if there's some sort of hierarchy.

Either you went to a shit tier community college, or you're dense as hell. I'm guessing it's the latter.

The only thing that's possibly even shittier than your posts is this thread, so I'm gonna fuck off somewhere. No need to reply.

>>8819917
I'm referring to heircharcy in nature you fucking retard. No shit you won't reply, you're a complete moron. Stay mad kid

>>8819785
>tfw too smart for a normal life and too dumb for a life of science

literally my life in one sentence

>>8819850
He's right though. Mathematics is the only non-brainlet STEM field.

>>8819923
The guys a sap who's trying to justify his decades of academia as a marker of overall intelligence rather than the obvious complete lack thereof.

And you're right. The reason I said biology and above is because of mathematicians and mathematically minded physicists and chemists.

>>8819931
>biology
>trying to fit it in with the big boys
biology isn't even science faggot

>academia means complete lack of intelligence
go fuck a tree

>>8819785
>>8819921
fuck off brainlets, let me fix that for you:
>tfw too autistic for a normal life and too dumb for a life of science
you're not at a midpoint, you're the worst of both

>>8819785
I know these feels all to well.

At least you tried my friend.

>>8819940
Are you lost?

Not really, most /sci/ browsers are bitter, lonely, neet fags like this guy >>8819843 and this guy >>8819923, plus the occasional stray troll who wondered over from /pol/

>>8820047
so let me get this straight. you're neither from other parts of 4chan, or someone in STEM.

so what are you? lost from tumblr?

>>8820058
none of the above

>>8820047
>plus the occasional stray troll who wondered over from /pol/

Hey, that's me.

>>8819872
Except no.

If you are implying you are a business man, and you have studied science as part of your profession, I guarantee I have studied and researched more than you have and im a second year grad student.

>>8819843
Christ you sound retarded

tis whole thread is cringy af

>>8820125
>>8820160

I have multiple science degrees faggot, and I grew up in a very science minded/ educated family. I love science to death, and most scientists are geniuses in their craft and complete autists in all other regards. They are for the most part not generally intelligent, but rather good at memorizing and visual thinking in regards to their particular specialty.

Most entrepreneurs I know only have a general to poor summary of pop sci, but are incredibly creative and able to adapt to new information. Focusing on a single area your entire life fucks you up and makes you incapable of understanding and addressing 99% of what life is about.

>>8820036
stay mad kid, it'll distract you from your autism

>>8820191
someone's buttmad
>I have multiple science degrees faggot
kek, a diploma for being able to tie your shoelaces doesn't count

>>8820199
not too bright this one

>>8819785
Your concept of normal life must revolve around trailer trash retards then, because those smarts can be applied anywhere and you can still potter around the edges as a layman in science. Are you sure you aren't just too retarded to breathe?

>>8820191
OK buddy.

>>8820209
Theres patterns waiting for you physicists

>>8820213
are*

Fucktard.

>>8820209
Like I said, scientists have amazing memorizing and visual/ structural abilities, exactly what it is IQ tests address. They by no means account for creativity and adaptability, which are hallmarks of general intelligence.

>>8820224
>exactly what it is IQ tests address
They literally address how 'smart' you are. i.e., they're a proxy of general intelligence. By definition, you dumb shit. If you want to go ahead and redefine what 'smart' means so that it suits your view of the world, then go right ahead, but don't think for a second that I'm not laughing in your face.

I guess I should have known better than to start an argument with a retard. It always ends up being a discussion about the meaning of words rather than about the implications of concepts, because retards like you don't have the clarity of mind to make a coherent argument.

>>8820224
>hurr durr scientists are book smart, I'm street smart!
this is what the brainlett actually believes

>>8820234
>They literally address how 'smart' you are
Hush now child, let the adults speak. To still think this given how incredibly forward psychologists have been about the scope of these tests is pretty embarrassing.

>>8820239
kek, perhaps you'd like to cite some sources to give me a good giggle

>>8820243
I won't do basic ass research for you brainlet

>>8820245
then you may as well shut the fuck up because you have nothing to say that's worth anything

>>8820247
Bro you don't even know what IQ tests are, I'd be easy with the name calling lol

>>8820249
But I do. That's why I brought them up in the first place. The enormous irony here is that you don't have a fucking clue what they are.

>>8820251
This would be painful to read if it weren't so funny. I legitimately feel there's a chance you're trolling

>>8819843

>>8820234
You know, for a bunch of people on /sci/, you sure throw the word "retard" around enough to sound astoundingly ignorant.
After a while, the 4chanspeak you've accustomed yourself to loses all its meaning.
You're talking me back to 6th grade, anons. 6th grade, was a stupid, stupid time.
I can only imagine how rough it must be for grown ass adults who still run around spouting off about "retards."

>>8820256
That makes two of us.

Pic related, it's a house fire for you to die in.

>>8820260
shut the fuck up retard

>>8820260
Come on now guy, you can't in all seriousness go on fucking 4chan and complain about the language. You should know better than that.

>>8820264
I'm just concerned you're beyond repair anon.
You've conditioned yourself to slap "retard" or "autist" as a viable label on stuff you don't like.
Your mother comes downstairs with a plate of macaroni and it doesn't have the special cheese you like, so you start flinging macaroni all over screaming about those "autist-retards" again.
It's hard to get anything across when you sound as silly as you do, anon.

>>8820270
your nans a fag and gay and dead.

spastic

>>8820266
I second his complaint. It's more about laziness and herd mentality

>>8820260
Because 'brainlets' so much more PC.

>>8820260
This fuckin retard

>>8820273
For someone who claims be creative, you're not very creative.

>>8820275
Pretty easy to second your own comment fkn lol

>>8820282
its fairly creative

>>8820038
That's solid income. Do you get overtime?

>>8820284
You didn't honestly expect that people were gonna agree with you, did you? Is this your first time on 4chan or something?

>>8820289
if that's your standard for creative, I can't imagine what your standard for smart is

makes a whole lot more sense now

>>8820294
My fuckin sides

>>8820298
your nans even GAYER

>>8820306
This man just might be a creative genius. A savant even

>>8820307
your dads boyfriend is dead

>>8820270
Perhaps familiarize yourself with crockers' rules.
I adhere, and extend the benefit of the doubt to anyone who posts here as to them being rational agents capable of extracting information even from insults.

I was a highschool dropout, didnt even have 9th grade math

When I was 19 I went and got a prescription for stims (adderall)

realized I wasnt a brainlet and I powered through all highschool math courses, finished my mechanical engineering degree in 3 years and just got a job at SpaceX

believe in yourself brother

>>8820260
SHUT THE FUCK UP RETARD

>>8819951
And you're so small that you feel the need to insult them both... Sad.

>>8820038
I have a bachelor's in engineering and I make 12/hr driving a forklift. So you're doing better than me friendo.

>>8820347
His post is probably the only reasonable one in this entire thread

>>8819785
I'm full of apprehension right now. There's a lot of pressure for me to get a "normal" job, but I know the moment I walk down that road I'm never going to get where I want to go. I'm thinking to ostracize myself from my family because I can't take their "wanting to help me with the best intentions" anymore. It's not like they were ever much help before.

>>8820349
What happened anon?

>>8820362
Your family isn't there to help you. If unhelpful good intentions bother you that much, you're going to have a really really hard time. Abandoning loved ones outright instead of growing into your own person around them does not reflect a problem on their part but yours.

Life's a bitch man, I do feel for you. I have the same inclinations I think, but cutting off all social support from those you've been raised around usually makes things worse.

>>8820209
>Physics/Astronomy far and away over Mathematics
DELET

>>8820387
damn, actual wise advice on 4chan. what is this world coming to?

>>8820387
I don't want to get into it too much, but by unhelpful good intentions, I mean things that actively harm me in the end e.g., my teeth are in extreme pain right now and I can't concentrate on my work. God, more often than not I wish people would just leave me be.

>>8820737
Find your space and grow in it. That you don't rely on family in a way that they bring you down

>>8820038
>most /sci/ members are autistic overconfident undergrads who spend their free time on an anonymous mongolian sewing techniques imageboard arguing about which subset of math is purest/hardest

>>8820209
no way 'business - accounting' is behind 'business - other' and equivalent to 'business - administration'. There must be a lot of people who start in an accounting major and don't finish. Going to school for accounting is not bookkeeping. Sauce?

>>8820383
I don't even know.

>>8820237
Hurr durr I can't read and think too well but I'll just pretend you said something stupid and come up with a brilliant retort

>>8820224
>research needs no creativity and adaptability
you're retarded

>>8821986
it's basically what you're saying faggot brainlet

>>8821993
You literally cannot read. I feel dumber and dumber the more time I spend thinking about you. By all means keep on faggin up the place though

>>8821999
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
if you're not interested in STEM why the fuck are you even here? fuck off

>>8822002
I've studied more STEM then your little mind will ever understand dipshit. Like I said, you literally cannot read. But really though, keep faggin it up this is entertaining

>>8822011
whoops sorry i forgot you have
>multiple science degrees
lmao kill yourself fucking LARP loser

>>8822014
The LGBTQ community should add a letter for your level of faggotry

>>8819785
The plebs and the patricians you're talking about have something smart in common: they don't worry about which retarded internet category they fall into and just get on with shit.

>>8822018
>WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
why don't you go play with your fake degrees brainlet faggot baby

>>8820209
This one buttblasts me. Why is all health and medical sciences grouped as one? Seems really strange to have nursing and med school kiddies in the same group. And how exactly can you derive IQ from GRE scores?

Also, do med school kiddies even do the GRE?

>>8822045
the entire statistic is as meme as meme get bruh

>>8820263
does one take medication for autism or is it more of a social support kind of thing?

>>8822088
your replies are seriously kindergarten-tier buddy
